We have berries in a few places in our back garden: raspberries along the back fence (we planted some 14 September 2008 and doubled the number on 11 September 2010), in the berry patch planted out 19 September 2010, and a jostaberry near the lemon and lime tree planted in 2009.
Photos of our berries are available on Flickr or on clicking on the photo below.
